norfolk flyer 208 Report post Posted April 4, 2014 Emmy, Good lot of young there, Nice looking Fawn hen on top perch, I keep looking in the background for that OBBB hen but can't see it, Must be well hidden I will find it !!! Trevor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emmy 528 Report post Posted April 4, 2014 Hi Trevor Even if you put on two pairs of glasses you wouldn't be able to find any of the OB/BB's in that photo . (You did advise me to keep it under lock and key (lol)) The OB/BB male is still in the cage with pied female feeding those chicks and the new OB/BB hen is in a cage on her own meantime but next to the cage that has the OB/BB male.

Andyn 534 Report post Posted April 5, 2014 Nice young Emmy, Like Trevor I spotted the fawn hen but thought it might have a grey head and chest, Was that a trick of the light? Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emmy 528 Report post Posted April 5, 2014 Hi Andy I didn't have the camera focused properly so what you are seeing on the fawn is the 'shadow' of the cage front. I'm pleased how the young fawns are coming along they seem to be a bit bigger than the other colours. (Just noticed that my new pair of canaries have their first egg in their nest ) Emmy6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andyn 534 Report post Posted April 5, 2014 Thanks for that Emmy (any significance in the 6 as above?) We aren't going to breed any canaries this year. We have enough at the moment. Fingers X'd for yours though. All the best Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emmy 528 Report post Posted April 6, 2014 Hi Andy, I shouldn't be letting my canaries breed either BUT I was given a 'white pied' Fife and a yellow Fife and just couldn't resist (lol) Re the finches I'm going to pair up the OB/BB male with the OB/BB female soon - really keen to find out what they will produce and the pair that produce the BC chick now have two eggs in their nest so I'm hoping for at least one more BC chick (I've already had a talk with that pair and told them not to let me down ) The other pair I'm hoping to breed with is the Gouldians but time will tell and I'll just have to have a bit patience (looks like the female's beak is changing colour more a deep pink colour creeping in) Emmy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birdman 28 Report post Posted April 8, 2014 some nice birds there emmy sounds like you have lots going on at the moment. I have a pair similar to your pairing (obb/bb x bb/ob) just got 2 chicks from first round they produced 1 ob/bb and an obbb so fingers cross of more to come.you should expect something similar but all young should be ob with some obbb and split bbs. good luck anyway with that pairing richard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
